That's fucking bullshit. Sanders from the beginning polled better than ANY of the republican candidates by large margins. You don't think him being a self described socialist was enough fodder for them? What scandals of Bernie were they ignoring? What were they going to dig up that would have tanked his campaign?Yeah so I guess you're okay with not trying anything new huh? You're okay with politics as usual in Washington? That's the kind of America you want? A nation where republicans get there way with legislation that doesn't benefit the poor and middle class? You think Bernie is a fool for trying something NEW or policies that seek to strengthen the middle class and poor?I'll agree he hasn't accomplished much, but it's stupid to just blame him for it if democrats and republicans are too much of pussies to embrace real, progressive policy. I mean Christ what political victory has any democrat or independent in office achieved with real, progressive reform? Who, do you think, is better than Sanders in this regard? NO ONE.Wait so you're completely unaware of his veterans bill or are you just pretending like he never passed it?
Also, how can he pass real progressive legislation if democrats and republicans are too much of pussies to back him up on it? Moderates like Hillary naturally accomplish a lot because what they propose is the status quo. Of course that kind of shit gets passed all the time.
Veterans bill? Hell, that's already socialism - same as the military. Got anything else that is "new" socialism?
Thank you for proving my point. His fan club is too naive to realize there is no way in hell he could have gotten his socialist agenda passed through Congress into law. However, Hillary can chip away at making progress on some of Bernie's wishes.
No, dumbass, I'm trying to help keep Trump out of the White House. Trump and the GOP would have eaten Sanders alive. The only reason the polls have shown that Sanders was polling better than Hillary against Trump was simply BECAUSE THE GOP HADN'T GONE AFTER SANDERS YET. They've been going after Hillary for decades. Hillary is the only one with any chance of beating Trump.
